    Climate change is a global issue caused by human CO2 emissions that requires worldwide cooperation to address. While scientists agree the earth is warming due to human activity, there is less agreement on the costs of mitigation versus inaction. Emissions can be measured in different ways such as per capita or by country, and include direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from energy use (Scope 2), and other indirect emissions (Scope 3).

    1. Climate change

    Background Data

    Consensus:
    - The earth is getting warmer.
    - Due to human activity, mainly because of CO2 emissions

    Less consensus about:


    1. Cost of doing nothing
    a. GDP is not everything
    2. Cost of doing something

    A global phenomenon that requires global solutions

    Different ways of measuring emissions (per capita, at a national/worldwide scale etc) lead to
    different results.

    Measuring Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions

    I drive a jet and burn fuel -> Scope 1


    I buy a ticket to travel by jet -> Scope 3
